Chocolato
Chocolato
Also known as: Cocolato
Overview
Chocolato is a meticulously crafted hybrid cannabis strain developed by Amsterdam Genetics that represents a perfect fusion of Dutch cannabis breeding expertise and international genetic excellence. Created by crossing the legendary White Choco strain with California's award-winning Gelato (Sherbert x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies), this cultivar emerged as part of Amsterdam Genetics' Homegrown series in the late 2010s during the peak of Gelato cross-breeding. The strain maintains a 60% indica and 40% sativa genetic ratio, delivering a balanced experience that captures both the chocolate-forward heritage of its Thai lineage and the dessert-like qualities of modern confectionary cultivars. This indica-leaning hybrid produces dense, trichome-laden buds with 24% THC content and approximately 1.5% CBD, making it a powerful strain that appeals to experienced cannabis enthusiasts seeking sophisticated effects. The plants develop sturdy, robust structures with strong branches capable of supporting resinous flowers, often displaying purple hues in cooler climates. Chocolato's appearance is particularly striking, with buds showcasing deep green coloration with occasional purple hues and a thick layer of trichomes giving them a frosty finish.

Growing Information
Chocolato is significantly easier to cultivate than its Gelato predecessor, featuring a fast growth phase followed by an 8-10 week flowering period suitable for northern climates. Indoor plants remain compact and stocky, typically ranging between 50-100cm in height. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, with indoor plants rarely exceeding 100cm while outdoor plants can reach up to 200cm. Expected yields are 400-500g/m² indoors or up to 400g per plant outdoors. Plants develop strong lateral and upward branches with minimal internodal spacing, resulting in thick main colas surrounded by dense side buds that maintain their weight after drying. Optimal growing conditions include warm, dry environments with careful attention to humidity control. The strain shows moderate growing difficulty, making it suitable for cultivators with modest experience.
